Countering Fragmentation in Feminism: Proposition of Solidarity Model Based on Gendered Violence

On the one hand, where ‘women’ as a category provides a shared identity to almost half of the human population over the world, it is significant to acknowledge that this identity is far from being monolithic in its approach to the world and in the world’s approach towards it. The paper traces the trajectory of Gender Studies and Feminism in the theoretical and sociological domain, laying out the various discourses that have branched out through time. This paper will propose that a solidarity model emanating from violence perpetuated on all women might become a uniting factor for bringing all women together. It explores the various ways in which solidarity can be achieved in a fragmented world.
